Are These Items Different Improved

ver. 1.0.1

last updated: 04/08/08

Update 04/08/08 (ver. 1.0.1):Bug fixed. When you use keyboard shortcut to make your selection with the auto-submit off, you can now hit 'enter' to submit the hit.

This script has been downloaded times.

Description:

Provides general cleanup and streamlining to the "Are these items different" HITs. Allows keyboard shortcut for radio buttons and provides option to auto-submit.

Screenshot of HIT with script installed.

On the standard Items HITs, the two items and their descriptions are arranged vertically with the radio buttons at the bottom. This requires a fair amount of scrolling for this quick-decision HIT. This script streamlines the HIT for quicker comparison and submission.

The Layout: The radio buttons are moved to the top of the HIT, and the items are placed side-by-side.

The blue box that describes the HIT has been streamlined to be as short as we could make it. (We removed the qualification information, and put the rest of the text on one line.)

The instructions are hidden using the show/hide scriptlet. Amazon has 6-8 different versions of the instructions, so it will take viewing quite a few HITs before you get all the instructions accepted into the routine. Once you've reviewed the instructions, click "Don't show me about this change again."

View of the instructions warning.

Selecting radio buttons: User can choose the radio button with a keyboard shortcut. The default shortcuts are: "s" selects the "These items are exact duplicates" button, and the "x" selects "These items are different." radio button. You can customize the keyboard shortcuts under the "User Script Commands" menu, using "Change hot keys." To change the hot keys, separate your two selections by a space. The first selection is the "exact duplicates", and the second is the "different." You can choose letters, numbers, and include ctrl and alt with them by adding a "+." So, for example, if you would like y for same and n for different, you type: "y n" Or, if you'd like ctrl+y and alt+n, you type:"ctrl+y alt+n". If you input an incorrect combination, the input dialog box will reappear.

Auto-submit option: The ultimate in speed. User can choose to have the HIT automatically submitted upon pressing "s" or "x", or the user-defined keyboard shortcuts. Note: this is an advanced feature. You must be very confident in your selection abilities to use this feature successfully. When I first gave it a try, I made several errors before getting used to the selection process.

To turn the auto-submit on, right-click on the Greasemonkey icon, then choose the "User Script Commands" menu option, and choose "Toggle auto submit." The state of the auto-submit toggle is shown at the top of the HIT.

Note: When the auto-submit is on, manually selecting the radio button with a mouse click does not automatically submit the HIT.

Other Notes:

If you're really looking to speed up your Turking, open two tabs in one window with active Items HITs running in each window, with the "Automatically accept next HIT" selected. While you are working on one HIT, the other is loading. With this script and the auto-submit on, you should be able to type, e.g.: x, ctrl+PageDown, x, ctrl+PageDown, s, ctrl+PageDown, etc. Both ctrl+tab and ctrl+PageDown move to the next tab in Firefox. Lickety split!

Instructions:

You must have Firefox, with the Greasemonkey extension installed.

User can choose to have selection automatically submitted via the "User Script Commands", choosing "Toggle auto submit." The state of the auto submit is stated at the top of the HIT.

Keyboard shortcuts can be changed via the "Change hot keys" menu option. The two selections should be separated by a space. You can choose any letter, number or include ctrl+ or alt+. Your new selection will be printed immediately after the radio button.

Show/Hide Scriptlet

The show/hide scriptlet is a small piece of script that we use in many HIT-specific Greasemonkey scripts. Because it is embedded, it is not a script that can be downloaded independently.

Description:

This scriptlet hides the instructions in a HIT. The instructions can be viewed by clicking on "show instructions." If the instructions change, a warning will appear, saying "Instructions appear to have changed. Click link above to view instructions." After the user views the changed instructions, they can click "Don't warn me about this change again" to accept the new set of instructions. After clicking this link, the changed-instructions warning won't appear again, unless the instructions change another time.



Other notes:

We don't think instructions should ever be completely removed from a HIT. A worker needs the ability to review the instructions as necessary. However, after doing hundreds, if not thousands of HITs, a worker does not need to scroll through identical instructions hit after hit.

On first install, the user will receive the changed-instructions warning, and will have to click "Don't warn me about this change again."
